All ticket holders are strongly encouraged to attend VIP Night, Friday afternoon, Saturday Afternoon and all day Sunday. We may reach capacity for a very short time from about 6 pm - 8 pm on Friday and Saturday night only. All advance ticket holders will get in as capacity permits. Generally it takes about 30 - 45 minutes to enter during this peak time. We have 26 show hours over 4 days and we highly recommend arrival outside of these peak times.

WHAT DO I DO WHEN I ARRIVE?

If you have Advance Admission Tickets go straight up the main escalators and enter the Expo. You can purchase sample tickets in the foyer or in one of four sample ticket booths available inside the Expo (note: some inside locations are cash only).

If you do not have advance tickets enter the ticket lines in the foyer. You can purchase tickets and sample tickets at all main ticket booths. Proceed with your tickets up the main escalator into the Expo.
